"By the end of Key Stage Two children should be able to confidently and efficiently search for information online. They should have an understanding of how online Search tools such as Google work. Children should be able to use databases and spreadsheets to sort, search and analyse data and be able to apply these skills in other subjects such as Science and Maths. They should be able to use data-logging technology to gather data and then present this information in a meaningful way. Children should understand the need for accuracy when inputting data and also have an understanding of how computers use algorithms to interpret and work with the data they have been given. "
This statement also covers the use of common algorithms for searching and sorting data such as Insertion Sort, Bubble Sort and Binary Search
